Got a skoda with 6 months 'warranty'. I say 'warranty' because he wrote in his hand writing '6 months warranty' and I wonder if its worth nothing.
As soon as I get it, there are faults. Major problems with the central locking and lights coming up on the dash.
They (the car dealer and his tosser mechanic) tell me non stop that the locking system is 'just VW and normal' and the light coming on is nothing to worry about ans switch it off.
Ive also had problems with the seat belt and hand break.
I finally persuaded them to look for a fault in the door with the central locking, and by jove they found the fault. Like I kept saying, it WAS a fault and not normal.
Today it went in again with the light on, I begged them to not just switch it off. My 'warranty' runs out in 6 weeks. The light takes about 6 weeks until it comes on again.
So now Ive been given a choice, the dealer says he will swap the car for another. But in the same breath says all his cars have lights coming up on them, and they are all fine. And he'll have no problem selling my car with the light coming on.
I could take it to a Skoda dealer, but cant do so untilthe light comes on again by which time my warranty has gone.
I want a refund. He told me in a threatening tone that I 'dont want to do that. You will be fighting me for 18 months.'
Will I? Is the warranty bs?
Have I just bought 2.1k of faulty crap?
What do I do?
I found this scroll to the bottom for the bit about warranty

AIBU?
To try and fight for a refund for my car? Or am I as unreasonable as the dealer says I am?
